A 530-g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.4-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the

drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectangular prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.6 cm and length 23.2 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.)

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of squirrel,m=530 g=\frac{530}{1000}=0.530 kg

1kg=1000 g

Area=A=935 cm^2=935\times 10^{-4} m^2

1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

Height,h=4.4 m

C=1

\rho=1.21 kg/m^3

Width of rectangular prism,b=11.6 cm=\frac{11.6}{100}=0.116 m

1 m=100 cm

Length,l=23.2 cm=0.232 m

Area=l\times b=0.116\times 0.232=0.0269 m^2

Terminal velocity,v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA}}

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Using the formula

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.530\times 9.8}{1.21\times 1\times 0.0269}}

v_t=17.86 m/s

The velocity of person,v=\sqrt{2gh}

Using the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 4.4}

v=9.29 m/s

Which experiment has a non-uniform probability model? Select two answers. A. Tossing a fair coin one time B. Randomly guessing t
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

A uniform probability model is a probabilistic model characterized by a uniform probability density function, or uniform distribution.

In common language, a uniform probability distribution means that all possible outcomes in the probability space have the same probability of occurrence.

So:

- A fair toss of coin every possible outcome (H,T) has probability 0.5. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.

- Randomly selected answer to an MCQ with four options would have probability of success 0.25 for every MCQ. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.  

- Spinning a spinner with sections that are different sizes, each section would have different probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a non-uniform discrete distribution

- Pulling a red marble out of a bag with 6 red marbles, 3 green marbles, and 1 yellow marble. Each successive time a red marble is drawn the probability decreases. Hence, non uniform distribution.

- Spinning a spinner on which all sections are the same size. Each section would have similar probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a uniform discrete distribution .
